When I first moved to New York, I was eagerly awaiting my first non-Floridian winter in a long time. I bought my J.Crew Pea Coat on the first day the temperature dropped below 70, I squealed with delight when I woke up and it was snowing, and I rode the Carousel in Central Park in 30 degree weather.

Seriously, I was pumped.

But as the season trudged on, I started to reminisce about winters spent in t-shirts and shorts. So as we do in CenFlo, I’ve already started shopping for board shorts, picking out new Top-Siders, and searching for the perfect tote for summer.

I wanted a manbag that isn’t creepy or girly, and not as prosaic as the messenger I use everyday. This Sea Bag is made from an actual recycled sail, which totally fits in with my nautical-inflected closet - and as Natalie pointed out, a canvas bag is the perfect thing in which to carry your laptop.

Now if only the term “manbag” would go the way of “metrosexual,” I’d be all set.
